Country Style Baked or Fried Apples

Sunday, August 9, 2026
Country Style Sliced Baked or Our Copycat Version for Cracker Barrel Fried Apples are the absolute best side dish for any meal.

These are so popular on most Southern menus and perfect with just about any meal of the day.

These fried apples are one of those recipes that can be served for breakfast, dessert, or right alongside a comforting dinner.

They are especially wonderful spooned over pancakes, waffles, biscuits, oatmeal, ice cream, or even a slice of warm pound cake.

I love using a combination of Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala apples, depending on how sweet or tart I want the finished dish. Leaving the peel on gives the apples a beautiful color and helps them retain their shape while cooking.

They are simple, old-fashioned, and made with ingredients that turn into something surprisingly delicious.

Tender apple wedges simmer in apple juice with a buttery, perfect bite, then they are coated in a sweet, warmly spiced apple glaze that just shouts the start of Fall weather.

You may want to try our Country Fried Chicken or my Best Fried Pork Chop recipe with these delicious apple slices.

Just scroll down to the printable recipe card for both styles to try out.
